Look. Something beautiful. Every day.

New Neighbors in the Old Dark House

I bought this little metal house at an after-Halloween sale a few years ago. Just thought it was cute. You’re meant to put a candle inside it so the orange windows light up. I had it in my studio, but decided to hang it on the front porch a year or so ago.

As I passed by it yesterday, I noticed this stick poking out of one of the windows. I had to investigate.

Well, what do you know! Some one has moved in!

Some birds–and Hydra–were upset with how close I was to this, but I think it will be okay. I’ve read that birds don’t have much of a sense of smell, so touching their stuff won’t wig them out for long.
